The Career Expo is bringing over 140 companies across all fields to the Huntington campus to hire for jobs and internships, including Toyota Motor Manufacturing West Virginia; Cabell Huntington Hospital; the FBI; FDIC; the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District; J.H. Fletcher & Co.; Kelley Galloway Smith Goolsby; Marathon Petroleum Corporation; Mountain Care Network; Pepsi; and Nucor. A complete list of employers who will be on hand can be found at https://www.marshall.edu/careereducation/career-expo/.
The Educator Expo will take place in Room BE5, in the lower level of the Memorial Student Center. It will include representatives from 27 school districts in this region and beyond looking to hire teachers, speech pathologists, school counselors, nurses and wellness employees.
“I encourage those who are coming to the events to be dressed professionally, have their resumes, and be prepared with a 30-second ‘commercial’ about themselves,” said Jennifer Brown, assistant director for Student Engagement and Marketing in the Office of Career Education. “Even when standing in line, it’s important to talk with others and be open. Networking is an important aspect to finding a career.”
To help Marshall students prepare, the Office of Career Education is teaming up with JCPenney at the Huntington Mall to offer JCPenney Suit Up from 3-6 p.m. Sunday, March 5, at the Huntington Mall. The JCPenney Suit Up event provides Marshall students, faculty and staff with a 30% discount on business attire purchased during the event, including an additional 30% off discount on sale-priced professional wear. Staff members from the Office of Career Education and store employees will be on hand to offer insights into the latest career fashion trends, as well as the basics of appropriate business dress.
Both expos are open to all, with sponsorship from Marshall’s Office of Career Education. For further information, visit career@marshall.edu or visit www.marshall.edu/careereducation.
